November 12th Noon-6pm
2200 block of St. Claude Ave, New Orleans
Free and open to the public

Looking at more vendors and more music! See the contact page if you’d like to vend

Ponderosa Stomp Record Show: September 16 and 17th!

While the Ponderosa Stomp is a record collectors’ type of concert series, this blog is concerned with Record Fairs in New Orleans. That means the 3rd Annual Ponderosa Stomp Record Fair!

These are slightly different than the Record Raids (and have been around just a little longer!). Vinyl only! $5 admission! But due to the national draw of the event, there are vendors you won’t find at the Record Raid and merchandise aimed at higher-ticket customers. Particularly aimed at rhythm and blues, funk, rock & roll, garage, and psych nuts.

2 days! Friday & Saturday the 16th and 17th at 11am to 5pm, likely different vendors on each day. The good stuff’ll go quick so get there early! Stay around for the rest of the Ponderosa Stomp activities

Previous years were at the Cabildo, this year you can check it out at the Renaissance Arts Hotel lobby

Here’s a facebook page!

WAY late wrap-up of the July Record Raid

Aw jeez, where was I writing this post? Especially after it ABSOLUTELY RULED. Things were a little slow getting started due to a mix-up and it could have been better lit, but most vendors agreed that this was the most lucrative ever. Perhaps it was the Marigny crowd, maybe it was the promotion Siberia (and I guess I) put in, but there wasn’t a dull moment in either Siberia or the Hi-Ho. Thanks to everybody that helped and came out, more coming! Possibly at the same locations. But let me take a quick side-step!

Tomorrow!

22 vendors! 29 tables! Food, DJs, Drinks, and MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF MUSIC

Noon-6pm
Free Entry

BIGGER!

The Hi-Ho Lounge is now part of the fun! Less than a block down from Siberia, BOTH venues will have vendors, music, food and fun, including apparently a new Korean kitchen at the Hi-Ho!

I’m currently looking for a few 45-slingin’ DJs to set the mood. If you’re down and especially if you’re willing to lend your turntables to the cause, please get in touch

RECORD RAID at Siberia July 23rd!

For the summer Record Raid we’re moving back indoors. With air conditioning and light this time, thanks to Siberia at 2227 St. Claude Ave! Siberia allows us to do a few few new things: drink, eat, and have live DJ sets! Siberia does not allow us to: nothing! This is going to be excellent!

As usual, please contact me for vendor details

The Record Raid was great!

We had a few last-minute cancellations, but the weather was beautiful under that big tree, people came, people talked, people listened, people bought

Diggin'!

Patrick put up this beautiful Glenn Campbell poster

I don’t know about y’all, but I had a blast. For those of y’all that made it, thanks for checking it out, if you didn’t, see ya in June. If any of y’all have any pictures, I’d love to see them, and if anybody would like to help out with future Raids, please send me an e-mail. Otherwise…

Record Raid is Tomorrow!
